Saint Simon

[00:00.80] After all these implements and texts designed by intellects
[00:05.56] So vexed to find evidently there's still so much that hides
[00:10.91] And though the saints dub us divine in ancient fading lines
[00:15.68] Their sentiment is just as hard to pluck from the vine
[00:19.35]
[00:21.43] I'll try hard not to pretend
[00:26.89] Allow myself no mock defense
[00:30.72] As I step into the night
[00:32.85] Since I don't have the time nor mind to figure out
[00:36.82] The nursery rhymes that helped us out in making sense of our lives
[00:41.81] The cruel, uneventful state of apathy releases me
[00:47.26] I value them, but I won't cry every time one's wiped out
[00:52.56] I'll try hard not to give in
[00:58.36] Batten down to fare the wind
[01:03.41] Rid my head of this pretense
[01:08.47] Allow myself no mock defense
[01:12.62] Step into the night
[01:20.99] La-da-da-dum
[01:23.54] La-da-da-dum
[01:26.33] La-da-da-dum
[01:28.58] La-da-da-da-dum-dum
[01:31.80] La-da-da-dum
[01:34.20] La-da-da-da-dum-dum
[01:36.31] But Mercy's eyes are blue
[01:39.62] When she places them in front of you
[01:44.92] Nothing holds a Roman candle to
[01:50.30] The solemn warmth you feel inside
[01:54.34]
[01:59.40] There's no measuring of
[02:02.36] Nothing else is love
[02:05.75]
[02:25.96] I'll try hard not to give in
[02:31.65] Batten down to fare the wind
[02:36.91] Rid my head of this pretense (la-la la-la la la)
[02:42.48] Allow myself no mock defense
[02:45.22] Step into the night
[02:50.98]
[02:54.63] La-da-da-dum
[02:56.75] La-da-da-dum
[02:59.34] La-da-da-dum
[03:02.02] La-da-da-da-dum-dum
[03:04.95] La-da-da-dum
[03:07.58] La-da-da-da-dum-dum
[03:10.04] La-da-da-dum (la-da-da)
[03:12.87] La-da-da-da-dum-dum (la-da-da-da)
[03:15.36] La-da-da-dum (la-da-da)
[03:18.20] La-da-da-da-dum-dum (la-da-da-da)
[03:20.02] Mercy's eyes are blue
[03:23.76] When she places them in front of you
[03:28.77] Nothing really holds a candle to
[03:31.32]
